I don't know if any of you guys remember the little individually wrapped turkey sausage things called gobble sticks but I remember eating them when i was a kid in the 90s do any of you have a favorite food that you used to eat that is no longer available?

I moved this thread over to The Lounge because it makes a little more sense over here.

As for the actual topic though, I have one, though it's really a snack and not so much a "food" - String Thing! And I mean before they started getting lazy and making half of it flat candy instead of filing the entire piece of cardboard with a big, continuous string of candy. These things were awesome and I really wish they'd bring them back.

Sorry I put my topic in the wrong place that is such a noob thing to do -_-;;; what kind of candy was in that String Thing? was it like gummy or something?

No problem. You're new and you'll catch on quickly I'm sure ^_^

It was sort of a gummy candy - sort of the same as Fruit Rollups but less sticky. Here's an original commercial for it:

OwO Omg!! I remember those too they were so fruity and sticky and I remember the wiggly pattern never came out in one piece xD and I do have to say it had one of the most uncreative names ever lol

Most things I can think of can't even be fairly called "food", unless we're generous to include candies of some sort, haha. There were some chocolate bars that are no longer around that I liked when I was quite young. Of course, they went the way of the dinosaur and the dodo-bird, and are now but a misty-eyed memory to one now older fellow. Another thing I liked (and I don't know if the things are still around) were these ice cream sandwiches called "Snack and a Half". It was just some ice cream sandwiched between two oatmeal cookies, and then coated with chocolate. Nothing spectacular in itself, but it when you're a kid it's like tasting what Zeus himself ate on a hot day after much battle and strife.

I've never heard of Snack and a Half but I personally don't think chocolate and oats go very well together owO

[Pleiades Rising]

Oh it was pretty good actually. Maybe I'm wrong about it being oatmeal cookies, but it was something similar. After writing this yesterday, I still wanted one today - even though it's winter. But hey, they're near perfect summer snacks.

Mmm, String Things were delicious I had no idea they were made by Betty Crocker.

I loved Dunkaroos, which were apparently also made by Betty Crocker. Little snack sized kangaroo cookies with frosting for dipping. Their still sold in certian stores I guess but I haven't seen them around me. There was also this cereal...I have no idea what it was called. It consisted of little yellow squares with strawberry, grape, or orange frosting inside. I loved them, I would put a handful in my pocket and eat them as I played.

Oh yeah I remember Dunkaroos they where Awesome!!

Oh, this isn't "food" but a drink, rather: Crystal Pepsi! I bet even Biggie Smalls drank this stuff too. I loved this drink when Pepsi used to make it, which is odd since I didn't like regular Pepsi at all. My friends and I would buy this all the time every day non-stop can't stop won't stop.

I wasn't even alive when that stuff was out and that makes me sad because it sounds really weird owo

[Katie!]

Dunkaroos. At least I can't find them anymore :c

Shrimp are absolutely delicious in my opinion. They can be cooked numerous ways, but I like a simple steaming the best. Shrimp also improve pretty much everything they are put in. Shrimp Salad, Shrimp and pasta, shrimp stir-fry... everything is just so delicious.

[chibi-master]

Strawberry Jell-O. Actually, Jell-O in general, though strawberry is the best.

As for foods I remember, there were these cookies that had little marshmallow puffs on top and a dab of jelly in the middle... It was made by a Mexican company (I still lived in El Paso at the time.). Ah! Here they are!

You guys are snack-food fiends, haha.

My absolute favorite food is carrot sticks. I eat them like potato chips. I like to have them with ranch dip from time to time, but they're good by themselves too. My mom used to by them for me for after-school snacks since I didn't want stuff like Fruit by the Foot or Gushers like my siblings did haha. I guess I was a square from day 1.

You...had snack-food at your disposal the whole time? Yet you still chose carrot sticks?

[CaNz]

Carrot sticks are snack foods too!
Unless you are a rabbit I am pretty sure you don't make a habit of eating them as a meal. Healthy alternatives are nice though.... why did you have to leave America? You were one of the rare people who enjoys eating healthy.
